Product Details

No Glare In Bright SunlightUnlike reflective tablet and smartphone screens, the latest Kindle Paperwhite reads like paper- no annoying glare, even in bright sunlight.

Won't Tire Your Eyes In The DarkPaperwhite guides light toward the surface of the display with its next-gen front light- unlike back-lit tablets that shine in your eyes- so you can read comfortably without eyestrain. Adjust your screen's brightness for great reading in any light.

Charge Monthly, Not DailyKindle Paperwhite won't leave you thethered to an outlet. A single charge can last up to eight weeks (based on half hour of reading per day with wireless off and the light setting at ten), unlike tablets that need to be charged each night.

Read Comfortable With One HandThinner than a pencil, lighter than a paperback- and over 30% lighter than iPad mini. Comfortably hold Kindle Paperwhite in one hand for long reading sessions.

No DistractionsKindle Paperweight is purposely designed as a dedicated e-reader. Indulge your love of reading without interruptions like email alerts.
